The first teaser track from Fiery Crash's forthcoming record "In Clover." Its longing for the innocent casual pace of young romance is colored by the weight of an implied lesson of painful experience.

Fiery Crash—If You Were Mine

A young woman named Heather died of cancer. Her desire to be married was left unfulfilled in this life. This is what her Christian death can teach us.

Lesson In Dying From Heather

Anthony Quails — “Back Where You Belong”

A preview track from “Before the Bright Lights” by Anthony Quails. Sometimes we dismiss that which doesn’t seem superficially valuable. This song encourages us to wait, look closer, and dig deeper. (1 Sam. 16:7)

Anthony Quails — “The Gold Inside”

The eighth track from Brock’s Folly’s third and final (for now) album, I Have Seen the End.

Fun facts about “The Hardest Lesson”:

Brock’s Folly recorded the foundation for this track live (i.e., all five band members recorded individual parts at the same time) then over-dubbed two additional parts to the original recording: the distorted, strummed guitar part which comes in later (since Phil can’t play two guitar parts at one time) and Justus’ accordion part (he can’t play the accordion easily while standing because of a broken accordion strap, and we didn’t want to lose any of that stomping energy from his vocal).

2. Justus sings his “hardest lesson” first. Then Phil sings his. Then Jesse sings his. Then all three of them sing a round. Then all three sing simultaneously. Headphones or a good set of stereo speakers will help you to distinguish the voices.

3. “The Hardest Lesson” fits very well into the title theme of the album (I Have Seen the End), which touches on the idea from Ecclesiastes 7:8 that “the end is better than the beginning.” Oftentimes, in the beginning, youthful zeal and naiveté propel us forward in our ambitions. We think those ambitions are enough. We foolishly think that our dreams are as big as they need to be. How do we distinguish, though, between our own ambitions and the calling of the Lord? What if God calls us to something harder, something greater: to service, to submission, or to suffering? Are we willing in the midst of that call to let our young dreams burn in order to reach out with tempered zeal to the hope set before us in the end?

Brock’s Folly — The Hardest Lesson

From Brock’s Folly’s third record, I Have Seen the End, “Regal Knight” uses vivid word pictures to explore the fact that “it’s not good for man to be alone.”
